GE60 0ND - Updating and Reconfiguring,.. No new updates....

Problem #1236735 after RMA'd
A new issue has occured now, everytime I don't shut down my laptop for some reason, I have to spend over an hour waiting for "updating system then into configuring changes"...
THERE ARE NO NEW WINDOWS UPDATES as I've been checking every night.. This is an EXTREMELY ANNOYING bug or error that keeps repeating, is there a way to uninstall all windows updates to reinstall one by one as I installed all 128 at once when my laptop was RMA'd.

Try running the command "lpksetup" and check if there're some unnecessary language packs. You can manually remove them so that the system won't waste your time waiting to reboot or shut down.

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?
I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop. When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
I looked online for some clues. I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software. I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error. Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?
Thank you for any help you can give

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

GE60 0ND-463UK and RAM question

I have bought myself the MSI GE60 0ND-463UK and would like to upgrade my laptop to 16gb (as apparantly the max is 16gb)
However I have found that the i7 3630QM supports 32GB of ram however, MSi site states the Max is 16GB and has only 2 slots but after a little searching seeing that my laptop has 4 slots (currently unable to open the back of my laptop so here I am)
I would like to confirm if my max is 16gb and has only 2 slots.
As CPU-Z states it has 4 slots and a quick search found a few sites talking about ge60 0nd having 4 slots for ram.
I'm currently ready to purchase 4x4gb as it's a lot cheaper than 2x8 and would like to be reassured before I purchase them.
RAM I'm planning to buy £95 for 4x4 or £115 for 2x8 - Kingston HyperX Plug in and Play DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module (Kit of 2)
So would like to confirm 4 slots so I save £20 as I'm really skint :P
Thanks.

it has 2 DIMM slots

MSI GE60 0ND BIOS and EC Request

My System (GE60 0ND-228XTH) came with FreeDos pre-installed.
BIOS Version: E16GAIMS.10F
BIOS Build: 12/18/2012 15:20:43
EC Version: 16GAEMS Ver4.04
EC Build: 04/26/2012
The real need of this request is to fix the Wireless Connection Drop issue (happens randomly or after waking up) occurred in Windows 8 OS.
I have tried ...
- Every combination of BIOS/EC that are provided in the official MSI page and compatible with my System.
- Every SCM that is compatible with Windows 8 OS.
- Any solution about Connection Drop issue in Windows 8 OS.
but still no luck.
The best bet is to use
- E16GAIMS.10F BIOS
- 16GAEMS1.505 EC
Though the problem still persist, the frequency of occurrence is less than other approaches.
Since this above EC firmware is for Windows 8 System, so this is not the best workaround for my system.
That is why my assumption came up with BIOS/EC and made this request.
This problem is NEVER shown in the Windows 7 OS and any Linux Distributions.
Also, can you add any updates possible for BIOS and EC.
I will make a donation as soon as possible after your confirmation.
Thank in advance.
Edit: Added Current BIOS Configuration Screen.

its probably wifi driver related or something specified for win8
try different wifi drivers
I already tried many drivers from the MSI itself, Intel, even other Notebook Manufacturers, but still not working.
I have tested Windows 8 in my friend's notebook(DELL) that has similar Wireless Adapter and everything working fine without issues like mine, so that means Windows 8 is not the culprit.

try set wifi to max performance from power profiles
This is one of solutions I've tried long ago and it failed.
Anyway, thank for your response.

MSI GE60 0ND Wireless and bluetooth shortcuts and their lights.

Hi there! Sorry if i open this subject in wrong place.
I have bought a new MSI GE60 notebook. But its wireless and bluetooth lights don't work. Firstly they were working but today they didn't work. And fn+F8 and fn+f9 combinations don't work too. Bur wireless and bluetooth works. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem
and i'm pretty sure i have the latest bios
what to do ??

Msi ge60 0ND ,, after making update for firmare :(( !!

I've msi ge60 0nd .. and it's working correctly !
i'm making update 4 firmware ~~!!! without reason
and after update the wlan button turning off all the time ... but it's work !
how can i recover the firmware !??

I'm not really certain what you're trying to say you did.
Did you update the firmware or BIOS? Which one did you use?
Why did you update it 4 times?
What OS are you using?
A little more information and a better explanation would get you an answer much quicker.

256GB mSATA install in GE60 0ND-257US... possible?

I just bought a GE60 0ND-257US, and I want to put in an SSD. I've been searching the net for a while and can't find any definitive answer if what I want to do is possible, and I'm hoping I've come to the right place.
1) Does my laptop support a 256GB mSATA SSD? I have seen a few hints that the GE60's only support 128GB mSATA drives, but nothing definitive either way... is this true or false?
2) Is it possible to clone the factory installed partitions from the HD onto the mSATA SSD and have everything be the same? Or will I have to buy a new OS license and do a fresh install? It appears I don't have a product key for Win8 so I'm assuming that would be the case if a simple disk clone isn't possible.
FWIW I am a very experienced computer user/builder who has imaged and copied hard drives dozens of times, but this is my first laptop, so I don't have any experience with mSATA devices, and it is also my first experience with a computer that came with (what appears to be) a limited OEM OS license.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks again darkhawk, that is once again very helpful. I feel a bit more confident having read a few other things as well that the larger size SSD won't be a problem.
About win8 pro, yeah the comparative feature set over standard 8 didn't look that extraordinary, the only interesting part to me would be the built-in drive encryption. However, $40 is a pretty good price. I have a few other machines I could use it on besides, if I decide not to upgrade the laptop. Is there any indication though that MS is going to add features to pro, or that it will ever be anything more than what it is now?
Your setup sounds sweet... SSD prices are finally reaching a nice spot so it might be time to raid a couple in my desktop.
Thanks again and
NP. Always willing to provide my experiences for others.
I honestly wouldn't count on them adding anything to Windows 8 at this point. Reason being? They're hoping to get the next version of Windows out in 2015 if I remember right. So if everything goes according to play, Windows 8 will only have a 2 year shelf life.......again, just my thoughts, but at this point, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) when it comes to Windows 8. You get a terrible, non-multitasking interface that really just gets in the way 100% of the time unless you disable the metro UI. I'd stick with Win7 and it's stability, as there's NOTHING out there yet that requires you to be running Windows 8.

Stop error 0x000000D1 in MSI GE60 0nd/0nc

Hello,
i just I just bought a few days ago the laptop MSI GE60 0nd/0nc and until now got few blue screens..
all of the blue screens have the same .
the stop errors is 0x000000D1 ..
Picture of one of the blue screens:
files and data of my blue screens:
dropbox.com/s/qftex61g2hsqkv1/Minidump.rar
I do not know why this is happening.
But until now I have tried several things to solve the problem that information I can provide:
When I bought the computer, the computer came without an operating system (Windows). it was only freeDOS.
I installed Windows 7 (the X17-24281.iso copy from here - official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads-t12325.html with Valid serial i have). Then the blue screen happened to me at the first time. the First blue screen was happened to me while I was trying to change the my partitions in my Hard Disk Through the "Create and format a hard disk partitions" in Windows 7.
I can say definitively - it happened on a clean Windows - Before I installed any drivers from my disc that came with the computer.
But the first blue screen not saved and documented. It is not included in the download, and it's not in the images.
I re-installed windows and it is deleted.
The other times it happened to me was after i have installed the drivers.
and this was happen not when i played games..
Most times it happened when i used the softwere 3ds max 2013.
The strange thing is that it did not happen and not even once in heavy game when the computer work most hard.
I played for hours the game Far Cry 3 on ULTRA settings and no blue screens at all..
this point is very strange.
not all of my blue screens happened While 3ds max 2013 running but most of them.
i downloaded the software "bluescreenview" and Every time i got a blue screen, i looked in that Software.
Most of the blue screens was Show me that the broblem is with the ntoskrnl.exe.
but by Search on Google - this info was not good enough for me because According to Google - this exe do Lots of general things.
Yesterday i got a new blue screen with the same Error Message - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
but this blue screen gave me more info About the problem -
According to "bluescreenview" i saw that there was Another file (with the ntoskrnl.exe) that Caused the problem.
that file is "netwsw00.sys" -
I did a Google search and it gave me much more information ..
The problem is with the intel wireless card.
After some searching, I came to a topic at Intel forum:
communities.intel.com/thread/33377?start=15&tstart=0
In this topic people have complained about this problem (Blue screen).
On the second page of the topic someone gave a link to an old driver for the intel wireless card.
he said that he Does not have that problem with this driver. the old driver version is 14.2.0.10.
so i installed this driver and after that i thought I solved the problem...
Because after that I did not get a blue screen for a long time ...
I turned on the 3ds max and for hours - laptop worked properly.
I did a lot in that time. I played far cry 3 and I used a lot on the computer.
but at the end - it happened again. While 3ds Max and Photoshop running.
This was a blue screen with the same message.
I do not know what to do.
Please help me!

Ok, first off, the link you provided does NOT pertain to you at all. Your problem is pertaining a stop error. The problem at that link is related to the e22w8x64.sys which is completely different.
Are you overclocking the computer at all?
Are you 100% certain that the hard drive is NOT failing?
You are right.
But I'm sure that it is the Wii-fi.
Because the file netwsw00.sys related to the intel wireless card.
and i found a topic about BSOD with this file on intel forums and i tried the solution but it does not solve my problem.
i also installed these drivers:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164835.msg1215981#msg1215981
for the killer network divice in case that the problam is with the killer network.
what i am doing is to search BSOD problems with the intel wireless card and just try the solutions even if those problams is not the same as my.. i just think that maybe one solution might would solve my problem.
In fact, I think I found someone's topic here with the same problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=168821.0
The solution there is to disable the 802.11n.. but i have more ideas and I want to try it and I would rather try anything because it's the last option for me.
By the frequency of these blue screens, the impression I get is that it's a case of instability.
These blue screens happen after activities related to intel wireless card.
For example - it happened after I turned of the wii-fi and then turned on through the S-Bur.
The last time it happened to me was when I tried to get into online mode in some game.
But because I can not make more blue screens by repeating the steps I did, it leads me to think that the problem is instability.
I tried to think what causes instability and that's all that came to mind:
* Heat
* memory leak in the intel wireless card or something similar
* Hardware problem in intel wireless card
So what I thought to do now is set that the intel wireless card will not work too hard.
And I think I found a place to set it but I'm not sure.
In Device Manager I pressed right button on the intel wireless card and then I clicked on "Properties".
in "Advanced" tab i found that these are the options I can change:
My goal is to change everything that might cause the card to work harder ..
so i thought to change "Transmit Power" and ""Roaming Aggressiveness"
Both of them were defined to "5. Highest".
i changed it to "2. Medium-low".
i hope that it will solve the problem...

GE60 0ND-042US HDMI output

Hi everyone.
I just got the GE60 0ND-042US and I'm really liking it so far. I'm just now trying to figure out how to use the HDMI output. I searched the forums and couldn't find any specific answers to what I'm seeing.
After looking through the these forums, I understand that the HDMI port is only powered by the 660m and not the Intel card. My problem is, I can't seem to force the 660m to turn on outside of a game. Even with a game that uses the 660m running, I can't then try to switch to mirrored or extended mode and have the HDMI port show up in the Display Settings for screen resolution. The only port that shows up is the VGA port and any advaced options still go to the Intel graphics card, so that isn't what I need.
Does anyone know how to make this work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what else to try at this point. I even checked in the BIOS and I don't see any settings there to force it to use the nvidia card. It would be nice to be able to watch video on my HD TV. Thanks!

GE60 0ND-042US - Stock configuration from MSI

Thank you for your reply.
If the Intel card also controls the HDMI port, that could be a good thing as I primarily just want to use the HDMI port to show video on my TV, rather than play 3D games. The problem is I still can't get anything out of it.
Whenever I switch to mirrored or extended mode, the only port that is listed is the VGA port. I see no options to use the HDMI port at all. The cable is a good cable and works as I can pull it out of my computer and plug it back into the PS3 and everything is fine.
I was originally thinking that I had to force the nvidia card on in order to get HDMI out to work. But if that is not the case, that's good. I just need a way to turn the HDMI output on.
Please let me know. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not seeing, but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Thank you for any help you have.

So you can´t update an GE60 with freedos to UEFI, is that right?
I have Windows 8 on my GE60 freedos und the problem that my GPU won´t boost.
Will this bug be fixed anytime soon?
You cannot update the GE60 that came with FreeDOS to UEFI, correct.
The GE60 does not have a GPU boost function like other models do. It does have a built in GPU boost that is regulated by the GPU, and this was fixed with a recent firmware update (roughly 3 or 4 months ago). You should update to the latest FreeDOS/Win7 bios if you have not yet.

GE60 0ND BIOS Update

Hi,
I've tried to look for the answer by myself but could'nt find a solution.
I have a MSI GE60 0ND pre-set with FreeDOS and I update it with Win 8.1.
I need to use linux so i created a virtualbox but there was a virtualization issue.
I've tried to enable the virtualization in the BIOS (Advenced) but the CPU option was not there. I use the .10F version of the bios and i can't update it for a .514
Is it normal ? Can i (and how can i) update the bios ?
PS : I downloaded the bios' files and followed the instruction to turn my USB key into an USB EFI bootable device but it's not detected as one.
instructions : msi.com/files/pdf/win8_UEFI_BIOS_Update_auto_en.pdf]http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/win8_UEFI_BIOS_Update_auto_en.pdf

In earlier models, you can't just cross-flash the BIOS from Win7 to Win8, or vice versa.
I remember the virtualization is always enabled in BIOS by default but there's no info shown in BIOS.
And the virtualization also requires the support of the CPU.
Check Intel ARK website to see if your CPU supports VT-d/VT-x or install Intel Processor Identification Utility to know if it supports.
If you're sure the CPU supports it but still can't use VT, suggest to install a utility called "Piriform Speccy" and click "CPU" page to check if your system supports it.

Any help gratefully received! :-)

Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
